Does it sounds like a high pitched rattle, by rattle I mean a real quick
rattle.
It sounds to me like a big washer on a rod and the rod is spinning very
fast.

The Haynes manual says not to clean engine parts having oil galley ways with
kerosene.  Does anyone know why?
Also, what's the hunk of puddy like substance on the outside of the timing
